The Yang family will attack the Liao Kingdom and reach Jiulong Valley; Xiao Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom sets up the Tianmen Formation, intending to annihilate the Song army in one fell swoop. The Tianmen Formation is arranged according to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. It consists of one hundred single and eight formations, with large formations within small formations, criss-crossing and dotted, and extremely dangerous. Yang Yanzhao, who had rich combat experience, was once trapped by this formation, and most of his sergeants were killed or injured. Even Yang Wulang, who was proficient in Feng Shui formations, did not dare to try the formation easily. Later, Mu Guiying took command and sacrificed the ultimate magic weapon "Dragon-Subduing Wood". The Yang family's grandparents, mother and daughter, father and son, and husband and wife all joined the battle and worked together to break through the Tianmen Formation in Beiliao. From then on, the Liao Kingdom failed to recover and no longer invaded the south.
Why Jianglongmu can restrain Tianmen Formation
Tianmen Formation can release a black dragon, which is actually a surge of black energy, full of evil and containing toxins. Although this poison is not It's fatal, but it can cause people to hallucinate and lose their ability to fight. Once the Song army is trapped by the poisonous gas released by the Tianmen Formation, they will suffer heavy casualties. The subduing dragon wood in Muke Village not only contains the word "subduing dragon" in its name, but it can also release a smell that dispels poisonous gas. Once the poisonous gas is dispersed, the essence of the Tianmen Formation will be exhausted, and its power will no longer exist.
Therefore, Jianglongmu is the nemesis of the Tianmen Formation. In the TV series "Mu Guiying Takes Command", when Jianglong Mu appeared in front of the Tianmen Formation, the Liao army looked at each other and shouted, and immediately became a mess, without fighting, it became chaos.
What exactly is Dragon Subduing Wood?
The Dragon Subduing Tree is only produced in Muke Village. The Dragon Subduing Tree used in the Tianmen Formation is a huge tree trunk and is called a sacred tree. So what kind of tree is it? There are relevant records in history that dragon-falling wood was once made into chopsticks and presented to emperors and ministers so that they could be used to detect whether food and drinking water had been poisoned. However, there is no conclusion on what kind of tree Jianglongmu is. To this day, there are still differing opinions.
According to different opinions from various places in Shandong, Shanxi and Hebei today, the dragon-subduing tree may be Liudao tree, papaya tree, etc., and some are said to have become extinct.
Although there are different opinions in various places, they all have reached a common understanding, that is, Jianglong wood grows north of the Yellow River. It grows slowly, has tough wood, smooth and dense wood surface, and is not easy to break. Break it with force, the stubble is like a knife, and it is as sharp as a blade.
